About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, goofy space spoof packed with puns and callbacks, like Spaceballs; Not for you if recycled jokes, crass humor, or a sequel that feels too similar to the first film will annoy you.
Pros: nonstop gags; sci-fi spoofing; some standout performances | Cons: recycled jokes; crasser humor; weaker than original
